Build your own custom mystery — from the ground up
Shape every part of your murder mystery
Custom characters. Custom story. Custom setting. AI builds the case around your inputs — for your group of 4 to 14+.
Custom characters
Based on your real friends or invented from scratch — set names, jobs, and how they know each other.
Custom story
Write your own murder, motive or twist — or let the AI invent a fresh case for your group.
Custom setting
Any time, place and tone — Victorian manor, Vegas casino, modern-day office, snowed-in lodge.
No two games are ever the same.
What you can shape
Every input changes the actual case — not just the names.
See how a single input change rewrites the whole case — read the customization deep dive.
Setting
A Highland castle, a Silicon Valley boardroom, a snowed-in mountain lodge — pick the world your mystery lives in. Cast, motives, and clues are built to fit.
A startup heist plays nothing like a country-house murder.
Era
Medieval Scotland, the Roaring 1920s, 1950s noir, or modern day. Time period decides what counts as evidence and what people fear losing.
Wax seals and ledgers, or smartphones and CCTV — completely different cases.
Tone
Tense thriller or chaotic comedy. The writing, the suspects' reactions, and the way guests play shifts with the tone you choose.
Same engine, different evening — pressure-cooker or theatrical chaos.
Custom characters
Base the cast on real people in your group, or invent them from scratch. Set names, occupations, and how they know each other — we build the secrets, motives, and relationships around what you give us. Works for 4 to 14+ players.
Your friends recognize themselves — and still don't see what's coming.
Reason for gathering
Birthday, wedding rehearsal, holiday dinner, annual retreat, reunion — the occasion shapes why everyone is in the room together.
Decides why everyone's there — and why the killer can't just walk out.
Your own story idea
Optional free-text brief. Describe the murder, motive, or twist you want — a poisoning at dessert, a fake suicide, embezzlement gone wrong — and we build the case around it.
Your idea gets baked into the actual plot, not just the framing.
What changes when you change inputs
Three real games from our catalog — same engine, completely different mysteries.
Setting, era, tone, and player count are not decoration. They decide which suspects, motives, and evidence types belong in the story at all.
A medieval manor mystery
Clan loyalty, oaths, daggers, and religious authority drive the case. The cast is built around a wedding meant to unite two warring clans — every suspect carries a buried sin. Evidence runs on seals, sworn testimony, and the threat of dishonor.
A modern startup whodunit
Same engine, completely different world. The cast is a head of marketing, an office manager, a junior coder, and a barista who hears everything. Clues are patent filings, vault access logs, pneumatic tubes, and theatrical egos. Lighter tone, but the case still has to solve cleanly.
A Hollywood ensemble piece
More players means a structurally different mystery. With eight suspects, side plots, alliances, and red herrings have room to breathe — every player's secret matters even when it isn't the main murder solution.
